LOCAL TRAFFIC ADVICE - Watt Road Closure

To minimise disruption to the traveling public, the closure is planned from around 9:30am after the morning peak, re-opening around 3:00pm before the afternoon peak.

Works to be undertaken include:

the erection of new height bars on the bridge, replacing the previously damaged restrictors
minor bridge repair works
repair of potholes and damaged edges
renewal of some of the road line-marking

The new height bars are required to restrict larger commercial vehicles from using the bridge and overloading the bridge causing damage to the bridge structure.

Council advises local motorist to seek alternative routes and thanks them for their patience during these necessary works.
